Richland County Sheriff's Department says that a deputy was conducting a property check at 504 South Beltline when he was approached by a resident who said there was a verbal altercation occurring in the "E" building of the apartment complex. The deputy made contact with the apartment, knocked on the door, and was fired at from inside the apartment.

Deputies continued to try to make contact, and the suspect exited the apartment disoriented. Authorities then discovered the second female suspect in the residence.

The deputy was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Mabry and Loundagin were transported to Palmetto Health for observation.
